Traill West: The Early Settlers In Traill County, Dakota Territory

Traill West is a series of interviews about the early settlers of Traill County in Dakota Territory. It is customary for historians to wait until all the principals are long dead before they begin their researches. This book snuck in just under that wire- the interviews, conducted in the late 1980s, are with people who were children while the original settlers were still alive. It is a certainty that the direct descendants of Peter Paulson and Lars Halvorsen will be interested in this book of interviews and reminiscences. As far as anyone else seeking information about the early settlers of Traill County, Dakota: Lars and Christiane Halvorsen; Ole Erickson; Hans, Anders and Gulbrand Hanson; Peter Paulson; Ingebret Larsen; Ivar Larsen; Andrew and Anne Dorthea Peterson; Emily Larsen-Causby, Tom Causby; O.P and Karen Bakke and the almost famous Reverend Bjug Harstad... well this book is just about the only place you will find that information.
